ENFIELD COUNCIL has launched a new travel scheme, where you can borrow a bike for one month at the cost of just £10.
If you’re thinking of taking up cycling then The Enfield Council’s Cycle Loan Scheme is now available. With this scheme you borrow a quality bike and you only pay £10. There are several models to choose from including commuter and leisure bikes, folding and electric models and a cargo trike is also available. Your bike will include a helmet, high visibility vest, a lock and a child seat if you would like one.
Enfield Council’s Cabinet Member for Environment, Cllr Daniel Anderson, said “The £10 cycle loan scheme is extremely popular and you can see why.”
After your month ends, you have the choice to return the bike or purchase it at a reduced price.
He continued: “We know that many people would like to give cycling a go, but just don’t know where to start. They are equally concerned about the cost of bikes and associated equipment. This scheme gives you access to a quality bike, equipment and guidance, which is everything you need to start cycling, and all this for just a tenner.”
Why Cycle?
*It keeps you healthy and fit
*It’s cheap
*It’s environmentally friendly
* It’s fun, practical and less pollutive.
“As part of the scheme we provide free cycle lessons enabling participants to learn road safety and gain other important cycling tips from an expert. Indeed, we offer free cycle training for everyone aged 10 years and over, not just those who borrow a bike. So why not sign up today?” added Cllr Anderson.
Enfield Council has produced a short film to show you more about the scheme. Visit the link below to watch the film and then complete the application form. One of our friendly cycling champions will contact you to let you know when you can pick up your bike: www.cycleenfield.co.uk/£10loan
